October 4th, 2017 (New York, NY) - The Sylvia Wald and Po Kim Gallery is pleased to present the group show Intrinsic Void, on view at the gallery’s NoHo space from October 5th, 2017 to December 21st, 2017. Showcasing contemporary works in traditional and new media six artists from the U.S. and Korea: Sylvia Wald, Seung-Won Suh, Raphaele Shirley, Yong R. Kwon, Hoo Chang Lee, and Gwang Hee Jeong.
 
The exhibition explores concepts of visible and invisible reality in an examination of the Eastern philosophy of the void, a transcendental realm of simultaneous existence and nonexistence. In their works the artists confront themes of duality – perception vs. reality, seen vs. unseen, empty vs. full. The works presented in Intrinsic Void each investigate this dual state of existence, reminding the viewer of humankind’s constant search of the invisible realities that are hidden from sight.
 
Included in the show are works by “Origin” group founding member Seung-Won Suh (b. 1941). In his Simultaneity series, the artist seeks to enable the unseen to be seen by creating canvases exposing a variety of colors within a monochromatic unity. Suh has consistently explored the theme of duality for more than 50 years, invariably titling his works Simultaneity. According to the artist, “simultaneity enables the unseen to be seen, ensuring that what is happening in the world of nirvana or ‘beyond dark’ could be represented through me.”
